Permanent make-up is ideal during holidays under the sun. You protect yourself from the bright sun for your skin and for the durability of permanent make-up, such as your eyeliner and eyebrows.
You skip the search for a waterproof eyebrow pencil because you have permanent make-up. But what you do always carry with you is factor 50 protective cream. The sun will fade and discolour your permanent make-up if you do not protect yourself properly. With the following tips, you will know how to prevent this.
Grease, grease, grease, I cannot repeat it often enough! UV radiation from the sun accelerates cell division in your skin, causing pigment to break down sooner. And as a result, your permanent make-up fades. A week of baking by the sea can have disastrous consequences.
“I regularly get holidaymakers coming straight back to my practice when they return home,” Janny says. “This is unnecessary. Poor protection has caused the permanent eyeliner or eyebrow to discolour and fade earlier than necessary. So I can’t say it often enough: always keep lubricating. That way your permanent make-up will stay beautiful for longer.”

Unnoticed, you catch a lot of UV rays during a hike in the mountains or a day strolling through a city. A hat is nice to wear then. Not only a nice accessory, it also protects your face. Choose three different models so you will always have one to match your outfit. Put them in a prominent place in your holiday home or hotel room so you never forget them.
For many people, a beauty treatment is a way to relax, even while on holiday. The acids often contained in products and used during a treatment speed up the skin renewal process, which fades permanent make-up.

Plan your treatment on time, at least nine days before you go on holiday. This will give your skin enough time to recover. That way you will be at your most beautiful this summer and you won’t have to worry about runny make-up after a dip in the sea. Permanent make-up increases your happiness in life.
